More McCain problems

In addition to Cuba, John Stossel also notes that McCain is on the wrong side of the climate change debate. It is the last sentence, however, that should raise the most eyebrows:

McCain's hero is Teddy Roosevelt, a hectoring, activist president. To justify government interference in our lives, it helps to have a crisis. In Islamic extremism, McCain has his foreign affairs crisis. In global warming, he has his domestic crisis.

Indeed, McCain is a "national greatness" conservative, a type that doesn't necessarily see government as a problem. As David Brooks points out:

In fact, Monday in Chicago, McCain declared: “In all my reforms, the goal is not to denigrate government but to make it better, not to deride government but to restore its good name.”

That's not good. I won't be happy if Obama wins, but I'm not sure I'll exactly grieve for McCain's loss.
